Never pick up the wrong specs again!

Coming out of the opticians with FOUR pairs of glasses, I could see an immediate problem. Which glasses were which? Were the ones in the blue case for music or reading? Which pair should live in the car? The only ones I could identify with any confidence were the prescription sunglasses.

No problem, I thought – there’s bound to be a case featuring a treble clef (although alto might be a bit optimistic) in the music shop. But there wasn’t. I scoured the internet, Ebay, Amazon etc – didn’t find many specs cases at all, and none which helped in any way to identify what the glasses inside were for.

So we designed our own, and here they are. I knew I wasn’t alone after spotting a friend’s case with “music glasses” sellotaped to the lid – so these designs are for everyone who has ever wondered “which glasses are which”!

Hope you like them and find them useful. They make fab gifts for grandad and granny, teachers, crossword solvers, cinema buffs, sewing & knitting fans and hard-to-buy-for men!

What people say

"Glasses are somewhat of an issue in this household so I have to say my husband was delighted with this case. Very good product and a clever idea!"

"I love my specs cases. Very strong. Very elegant. And, best of all, they are colour-coded so I can find the right one even when I'm not wearing my glasses!"

"What a brilliantly simple idea."

"Great idea and even if you only have reading glasses, the cases make great gifts. I need a pair of reading glasses in the car to read atlas, text messages etc so the road sign case would sit nicely in the car."

"Absolutely brilliant idea, I am forever getting into the car with the wrong ones on, mixing them up or losing them. Love the pictures on the cases too!"

"Fun design and good quality case. Quick delivery time."

"I bought this a present for my crossword fanatic friend but I'll probably get myself one as well. Very nicely made."

"Great idea … and love the print! They make excellent gifts!"

"LOVELY."

"Has been very useful so far, still getting used to the idea of carrying a metal (albeit a lined one) tin around with my glasses!"

"Such a great idea, mine get mixed up in my bag, can never tell the difference."

Press

"A brilliant idea, beautifully designed. If you have multiple glasses for driving, watching TV and squinting at guardian.co.uk on your smartphone, but are forever getting them confused, here is the answer. Instead of big boring type (or sellotaped notes, as Buy of the Day used to do for her granny) the cases are enlivened with the appropriate image. Crosswords, pens and letters for the reading case, for instance. But even if you just need a new case, these are ace. Buy of the Day particularly likes the music-themed one."

The Caravan Club picked us as a featured product in their October edition, and lots of people have ordered. Thank you so much!
